How employees describe working at Aquent
As a talent employee, I think the pay and benefits are good. Support is good in my experience. I wish there was PTO, and not just sick time allowed. It seems to depend on your client situation. That can be a problem at times.
Training recruiters and benefits staff to respond. Offering competitive compensation over stagnant wages. Encouraging honesty. Overseeing recruiters who resort to ageism.

How innovative is Aquent?
Aquent purchased my company just as the most recent recession struck. Aquent treats employees like partners and grown-ups. I think their culture was very innovative for the time. I have no reason to think that has changed and certainly on GlassDoor people who work with them would agree with me. I think it is a great company with great leadership. Innovation is part of their DNA. If they don't innovate to keep up with the needs of their clients, they would cease to exist. I met some very smart, dedicated people there.
